Abstract excerpt
A proportion of human blood T cells is known to proliferate in cultures containing 10 or more units/ml of interleukin (IL)2, in the absence of exogenously added antigen. A possible explanation for this phenomenon is that the IL2 serves to maintain the proliferation of memory T cells which have recently been activated by antigen in vivo. To test this possibility we therefore separated T cells according to their...
